License / use terms for GATK resource bundle
Hi,
I am intending to use the GATK toolbox and some of the files provided in the best practices resource bundle for research with commercial purposes. More specifically, I am interested in the files provided in the following google bucket: https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser/gatk-best-practices/somatic-b37
Can you please refer me to the official license or statement where the use terms for these files are detailed?
I know someone already mentioned in this community post that the resource bundle is free to use for commercial purposes. But I need an official statement or document providing information that the data in question are actually free to use for those purposes.
Thanks in advance!

Mariana E. M. The panels of normals I generated myself using BAM files sequenced at the Broad Institute. There's no official license other than my word that anyone can use them freely. Our version of gnomAD is simply the public version with all of the INFO except AF stripped away, and I'm sure gnomAD has a statement somewhere.

David Benjamin thank you very much for your reply, this was helpful.
I will check the use terms of the gnomAD files. I suppose the other files in the bucket can also be used freely, right?
